🙏🔥 The Thief wants to steal what? : Your salvation 🔥🙏
Jesus mentions that during the end of days that his coming can come as a “thief in the night” if you are not prepared
So preparing must be a “work”, a action of obedience, a effort of fruitfulness and faithfulness
Matt 24:45-51
Jesus is teaching that you represent one of two servants
A faithful one who has prepared and prevented the thief to brake into the house (temple of the body)
Or sadly a faithless one, who was drunk and abusive to Gods word and others
God judged the unprepared as hypocrites and cast them into outer darkness, which represents the 7 year tribulation
In Paul’s letter to Thessalonians 5:2-5, he understood this thief dynamic.
The prepared, children of the day light, were not overcome by the return of the Lord, while those who were in deception would allow the thief in to steal, kill and destroy
The “catching away” are clearly a reward for the prepared, those who were faithful and obedient servants, those who experienced the renewing and transforming of the true Holy Spirit
While those who follow the many deceptions of the fake church are considered lawless and doers of iniquity
Examples of those deceived are those who try to sneak in the gate as a thief and a robber, teachings like Once Saved Always Saved, Replacement theology, prosperity teaching, Black Hebrew Israelites, Pharisees who believe human effort alone get man saved, Kingdom now, Dominion or New Apostle reformation, Mormonism, Jehovah Witnesses, Catholicism actually any non biblical teaching can separate a human from the truth of God
The simple childlike understanding of surrender to Jesus Christ by power of Holy Spirit (Spirit) and the truth of Jesus as savior, master, Lord and his Word (Bible) is 100% true, all the time
The free will to compromise on this simple narrow path can lead one into a broad path f destruction
Jesus said many are on this path, yet few on the narrow
Jesus himself warned 3 times in Matt 24 that deception would be rampant before his return for his bride
The parable of the wise and foolish virgins was clearly speaking about 10 women who thought they were saved, they were awaken by the midnight cry, but soon all slumber
His return caught the foolish as unprepared as they did not have the required oil of Holy Spirit, to light up the darkness of the night
While they were told to go buy some oil, they missed the gathering of the faithful bride
When they arrived at the banquet, they knocked but the groom did not recognize them
They were cast into outer darkness
The church of Laodicea thought they also were worthy of salvation, they were lukewarm to being prepared, they thought “grace” enough was sufficient
However in the spiritual blindness, Jesus told them to go buy salve for their eyes so they could truly see
Sadly the only required items was true Holy Spirit, but the foolish virgins and the Laodiceans had a unholy spirit
Because the were not desiring to be refined in the church age of true grace (God opening salvation doors to the gentile bride known as the true church (wise virgins).
Therefore they must go through the trial and tribulation of the seven year testing
Clearly the rapture return of Jesus for his true bride will come as a thief to those who watered down, compromise, be lukewarm, stay carnal and reject the spirit, rebel rather than obey, bury the talent instead of producing by power of Holy Spirit
Jesus desires that all come to repentance but so much false teaching is ticking the fleshy ears to think the saved (as the foolish virgins) but sadly produce no fruit of true repentance
They prefer the lie of mans interpretation of “cheap grace” and one time fake prayer that keeps the faithless into the bondage of practicing sin
All they had to do was read, believe and obey the Bible and surrender to Holy Spirit
But they believe the lie, then given over to that lie, so that they would not receive the truth
Jesus taught than man can never serve two masters, when he obeys the one, he despises the other
The prepared servant shows the wisdom of Jesus, Bible and Holy Spirit
The unprepared is one who rebels against the teaching of Jesus, thus proving they do not love Jesus
As Jesus says 3 times in John 14:15-23
If you love me servant, keep/follow my commands/words
Free will to you follow the Shepherd voice, obedience is not deserving salvation but it is proving you love to Jesus
Don’t let anyone steal your salvation crown, don’t have your lamp stand remove, don’t allow your name to be blotted out
These are not my words, the belong to Jesus
Choose this day whom you will serve, truth or deception
Free will has consequencesp
